Hi.

I've read about the subject anything I could find but I've found no solution.
I want to use std.socket but as I get to Socket.select() I get more than a
page full of error messages (see below). The Phobos documentation says that
link using ws2_32.dll, but how? I've converted it to .lib but I found no way
to build it into my project. (I can not link the sample listen.d either.) I've
tried to pass it within the command line parameters, used pragma() and in my
last exasperation I've tried import...
What would solve this?

Add ws2_32.lib to your command line; this file is already provided with  
DMD, you should not generate it.

It works using the provided .lib, thank you. But why not with the implib-ed one?
